3 Shots Reveal Beauty of Inland Empire: RivCo Photos Of Week

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — Sometimes it's easy to get busy with daily life and miss those moments when Mother Nature showboats majestic flowers, sunsets and painted skies.

Luckily this week, we have Patch reader, Susan Loutzenhiser, who shared three, very different photographs, snapped last month throughout Riverside County, that deserve a moment of admiration and serve as a good reminder to take notice of beauty nearby.

One image, a simple, but giant, sunflower was taken in her Hemet backyard, accompanied by another photo, she dubs as "an artist's sky," taken in Hemet off Soboba and Mountain, and a very dreamy shot of Idyllwild from the San Jacinto Valley.

All so very lovely, and thanks for sharing, Susan!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids or a pet doing something funny, we'd love to feature it on Patch. We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the uniqueness and the beauty that is the Inland Empire.

Send your photos to autumn.johnson@patch.com, and we'll post the feature on an occasional basis. Please include when and where the shot was taken and any other details about what was happening.
